Recommended as a sell and maybe buy back in the autumn in Shares Magazine. Seems to be going up nicely on fairly large volumes ahead of interims on Wednesday (18.8.04). Does anybody know much about this company??

Well called again Sue.

2 Million BUY has come through at 11.61 pence....EVO who are the house broker of IQE filled that buy.

500,000 T BUY has also come through at 11.50 pence today - someone left an order with an MM to purchase 500,000 shares at a price of 11.50 pence.

Thanks John...best of luck.

she we hold onto these

spread is now 10.75-11.75

Nobody has sold today other than two people. That answers my question

Heres to the recovery, thanks shares mag for bringing this one to my attention even though you said sell. Hope the price holds 2morrow. Long term the prospects look very good.

SUE HELEN DO YOU THINK WE WILL GET SOME MOMENTUM GOING INTO NEXT WEEK

O yes thesaurus.

Price closed at intraday high of 11.50-12.00 pence today, up 34.30%.

4 million T buy trade at 11.42 pence
2 million buy at 11.61 pence
500,000 T buy at 11.50 pence

I reckon someone has bought 6.50 million shares today hence the price was stuck the way it was. Big buy order.

The 500,000 O trade reported at 11.50 pence towards close was from an hour ago and is definite sell..trades for O type trades over 450,000 shares are delayed in reporting by 1 hour.

Evolution Beeson Gregory (EVO) the house broker has produced another note today with an increase price target of 15 pence. Will post the note if I can get hold of it.

Excellent Volume today - 16,358,434 - 256 Trades.

You say the price was "stuck the way it was". So once this sorts itself out what kind of price are we looking at over the next 2-4 weeks

Well done everyone for sticking through the last few weeks - did say something was brewing with all those large buys at the 9.00 pence area. 17-20 pence is the next stop.

A 500,000 O buy trade came through around 5.05pm from 4.05pm at a price of 11.477 pence. Definetely a buy from when the offer price was at 11.50 pence.
